Grampound Road is a small village in Cornwall, England, lying on the A390 between St Austell and Truro and a short distance from the older market settlement of Grampound. It occupies gently rolling agricultural country typical of central Cornwall, with a scatter of farms, cottages and modest housing developed in the railway age.
The village grew up in the 19th century around a halt on the Cornish Main Line and today is largely residential, with local amenities and many people commuting to nearby towns. The wider area’s economy has long been influenced by farming and the china‑clay industry, and socially Grampound Road retains a close‑knit, village feel with community events and a mix of long‑standing families and newcomers seeking rural life within easy reach of larger centres.
